You get compilation error on this program.

public class SomethingIsWrong {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Triangle myTriangle;
       myTriangle.base = 40;
       myTriangle.height = 50;
       System.out.println("My triangles area is " + myTriangle.area());
   }
}

class Triangle {
    int base;
    int height;
    public int area() {
        return (this.base * this.height)/2;
    }
}

Why are you not able to compile? How do you fix it?
